Boys in the 2^nd grade are considered Wolf Scouts. They can either come from being a Tiger Scout, or be new members. Wolf Scouts are the first of the actual Cub Scout program, which also includes the Bear Scouts and Webelos. Wolf Cubs do more than the Tiger Scouts as is appropriate for the higher age and abilities. Before your Wolf Cub can earn his Wolf badge, he must earn his Bobcat badge. There are several levels of accomplishment in the Wolf Cub program. Throughout the scouting experience the key to success is the scout doing his best. Scouting is not a competition where only those who excel are rewarded, but an experience to help all participants grow. Progress Toward Rank Emblem – This emblem is earned after receiving the Bobcat badge. Achievement Beads – As the scout progresses toward his Wolf badge he earns gold beads to put on his Progress Toward Rank Emblem. Each bead is awarded for completing four achievements. If you do not wish to write in your handbook, there is an advancement signoff sheet link to the left. Wolf Badge – Once the scout completes all twelve achievements he is eligible for his Wolf Badge. Do not get rid of the Progress Toward Rank Emblem, he can continue to display it and will use it again as a Bear scout. Arrow Points – After earning his Wolf badge he can begin earning arrow points. Each arrow point is earned by completing ten electives. Bonus: Tasks that are completed in the achievements, but not used for earning the Wolf badge can count as an elective (consult with your Cubmaster to for a better description, or refer to your handbook). If you do not wish to write in your handbook, there is an elective signoff sheet link to the left. Belt Loops – Additionally your son can earn belt loops anytime after he earns his Bobcat badge. Belt loops can be earned for several Academic and Sporting activities. Contact your leader for more information. To the left is a signoff sheet if you wish to use it. Special Awards – There are some special awards that your son can also strive to achieve. These are typically more difficult to get, but well worth it. Examples include the Cub Scout World Conservation Award, the Cub Scouting’s Leave No Trace Awareness Award, and a Religious emblem (varies depending on your beliefs). To the left is a signoff sheet for these awards.  Your boy remains a Wolf Scout until he graduates the 2^nd grade, so make the most of the experience!
